United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. TAYLOR. As of that time, it appeared to be normal--normal man and
wife relationship. I think it was somewhat strained by a language
barrier. Some of the people present, not speaking Russian, and she did
not speak any English, and this left somewhat of a burden upon the
others present to interpret the conversations from one side or the
other. But I was not able to sense any disharmony at that point.
Mr. JENNER. Now, by the time you had arrived at their home, had you had
some notion of why you were invited to be present on that occasion?
Mr. TAYLOR. Only to meet them and I hoped to learn something about
Russia and how people live there.
Mr. JENNER. All right. How long did this meeting take place?
Mr. TAYLOR. Uh--I believe from about 4 until 7.
Mr. JENNER. Did you have anything to eat during that period of time?
Mr. TAYLOR. No.
Mr. JENNER. Have you now related all the subjects discussed at that
meeting having a relation to the Oswalds and any part you would play in
their lives?
Mr. TAYLOR. Uh--well, as I mentioned before, it was difficult to
remember whether it was that Sunday or the following Sunday, but I
tend to think that that Sunday evening, Marina and her daughter, June,
returned to Dallas with my wife and I and that Lee stayed----
Mr. JENNER. That was at the time of that first meeting?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; at the time of the first meeting--at the end of it.
And that Lee stayed in Fort Worth that night and that he and Mrs. Hall,
some time the next day, moved their bigger belongings--more bulky ones
other than clothing--to Mrs. Hall's garage and stored them there. And
then he came to Dallas and--uh--took up residence at the Y.M.C.A. here.
Mr. JENNER. Uh-huh. Now, do you know, as a matter of fact, that he did
take residence at the Y.M.C.A.?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. How long did Marina remain with you and your wife in your
home, commencing that Sunday night?
Mr. TAYLOR. Approximately 2 weeks.
Mr. JENNER. And she brought with her what--in addition to her child, of
course?
Mr. TAYLOR. Just clothing.
Mr. JENNER. And you were residing then where?
Mr. TAYLOR. At 3519 Fairmount.
Mr. JENNER. In what town?
Mr. TAYLOR. Dallas, Tex. I believe it was apartment 12.
Mr. JENNER. You say you spoke no Russian, you understood no Russian,
your then wife understood a few words of Russian but had difficulty
with the language?
Mr. TAYLOR. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. How did you get along about your social intercourse between
Marina on the one hand, yourself and your wife on the other, during
this week?
